Why did Tether invest in Plasma? Because most blockchains are still chasing hype instead of solving real problems, too many are optimized for fast meme coin listings instead of usability. But the real-world utility of USDT proves something deeper: if you build tools that work for people, they’ll use... show more

What is PlasmaFDN explained simply? Most blockchains try to do everything for everyone. Plasma is doing the opposite. As Paul explains, Plasma is a blockchain purpose-built for one use case: stablecoins. That means every decision - from the tech stack to liquidity incentives - is optimized around making stablecoins faster, cheaper, and easier to use at scale. This isn’t a criticism of Ethereum or Solana. It’s a bet that specialization can outperform generalization - especially when it comes to real-world payment adoption. Podcast out this week!

What is the Trillion-dollar Stablecoin opportunity - and how is PlasmaFDN building to support it. Paul says it’s simple: stablecoins are taking meaningful share of global commerce. Payment volume, transaction flow, real-world utility. That’s the unlock. We're sitting at ~$250B in outstanding stablecoins today. But the trajectory is clear - and will be here fast. Paul is confident we'll cross $1T next year. Plasma is built specifically for that scale: a chain optimized from the ground up to serve stablecoin adoption and utility, not generalized smart contracts. When the future is this obvious, it pays to build like it’s already here. Podcast out this week!

Plasma PlasmaFDN just dropped Plasma One after their mainnet — a stablecoin-first neobank that actually makes holding, sending, and spending digital dollars simple. This is the kind of app you don’t want to miss. Imagine paying your team in Buenos Aires in USD₮, sending money instantly to family in Manila, or trading commodities in Dubai — all from one app. No messy wallets, no slow transfers, no hidden fees. On top of that, you earn 10%+ yield while spending, get up to 4% cashback, and can transfer USD₮ for free in 150+ countries. Sign up and get a virtual card in minutes. Real money, real fast.💳 💡 It’s also a testbed for their payment system, proving the rails work globally before opening to everyone else. That means the infrastructure is solid and ready for real-world use. This is the kind of product that actually makes global digital dollars usable for everyone, everywhere — and it’s just getting started. #PlasmaOne #Stablecoins #Web3

Jamie Dimon, we’re coming for you. Kontigo is building the largest bank in the world. (A “full-stack” AI stablecoin bank). Most “stablecoin neobanks” are just Bridge wrappers with no real distribution. We’re building our own infrastructure to replace traditional banks. Our infra lets humans and agents transact on top of open networks (blockchains) and local stablecoins. “A startup building agents for law firms could just build the AI law firm.” We’re doing the same for banking. Disclaimer: Kontigo is not a bank. Banking services are provided by the freaking blockchain.

🌆 Digital Evidence, Real Estate, and the Next Wave of Real-World Adoption Dave Berg, CPO at Constellation, breaks down how they are building real onchain infrastructure that solves real problems. Not hypothetical use cases. Not hype cycles. Actual products people can use right now. 1. Digital Evidence. Authenticity for the internet. Constellation is anchoring digital fingerprints of files, images, documents, and data streams directly onto the network. Why does this matter? Because in a world filled with AI content, fake screenshots, edited PDFs, and manipulated media, proving the origin of information is becoming one of the most valuable capabilities we have. Developers and non developers can use simple APIs, or even vibe code with AI tools like Claude, to anchor and verify data instantly. Everyday users can anchor real-world data right now onto Constellation network with zero blockchain knowledge, using devices they already use every single day. 2. Proof of Management for real assets. This leads into what might be one of the most practical DLT products released in years. Real Estate Ledger. A digital guidebook for any property: • Permits • Warranties • Proof of maintenance • Vendor history • Manuals • Insurance • Improvements • Receipts • Photos Everything tied to the property, all cryptographically timestamped. If you have ever tried to sell a house, maintain one, or prove something to an insurer, you instantly understand how useful this is. Imagine handing a buyer a clean, verified report of every repair, every vendor, every upgrade, and every warranty. Imagine builders uploading materials and documentation during construction so the next owner knows exactly what is behind the walls. Imagine insurance claims based on truth instead of paperwork chaos. This is not a pitch deck about tokenizing real estate one day. This is infrastructure that exists right now. 3. Constellation is solving real adoption problems for Web3. No need to rebuild your business to onboard. No need to run your own nodes unless you want to. No need to become a blockchain expert. Just clean APIs, onchain trust, and applications anyone can understand. Authenticity and truth are scarce assets, Constellation (DAG) is building rails that protect them.

Saw tons of them and this is NOT your usual crypto video. Instead of token hype and green chart, the main charachters are a clear mission and a different way to think about what this space could be. @FightCoinGlobal is building a system that supports the fight against cancer: long-term, on-chain, and concretely. Personally, I think crypto needs more projects willing to slow down and build for real-world outcomes. This one makes you pause and reconsider what’s possible. 🔗 If that idea speaks to you, check more at

🚨 this chinese guy makes over $1,000,000 a year… by building AI agents. no employees. no massive startup. he just keeps building. while most people are still asking ChatGPT random questions, he’s using Claude to build software that solves real problems. this is what people call vibe coding. he opens Claude and says: “build me an AI agent for real estate businesses that creates property videos.” Claude writes the code. builds the interface. adds subscriptions. helps deploy the app. within a day, he has a working product. then he starts building the next one. that’s the part most people don’t understand. he isn’t trying to build one billion-dollar company. he’s building dozens of AI agents, each solving one problem for one industry. → an AI agent for dentists → an AI agent for ecommerce brands → an AI agent for podcasters → an AI agent for real estate businesses each one automates work that people normally do by hand. each one is built with simple prompts. each one can become a real business. the crazy part? you don’t need to be a software engineer anymore. you need to know how to think like a builder. how to spot problems. how to explain solutions to AI. and how to ship. that’s exactly why i’m reading this article: “How to Actually Build Your First AI Agent.” because this is the skill that’s creating the next generation of builders. the people who learn to build AI agents today won’t just use AI. they’ll own the tools everyone else ends up paying for.

One of the people I genuinely enjoy listening to in this space is Manish | HumynLabs; KGeN Kgen Elder. Every time he speaks, it's less about chasing narratives and more about understanding where the market is actually heading. That's a mindset I respect. One point he's consistently made is that the era of tokens surviving on hype alone is fading. Liquidity is becoming more selective, users are asking tougher questions, and investors are paying closer attention to fundamentals. The projects that will stand the test of time are the ones backed by real products, real users, real revenue, and sustainable value creation. Anyone can generate excitement for a few weeks. Building something people continue to use months or years later is a completely different challenge. That's why, whenever Manish is speaking, I don't just listen,I grab a pen and start taking notes. There are always insights that make me rethink how I evaluate projects and where this industry is headed. The market will always have room for speculation, but in the long run, fundamentals have a way of winning.

Just watched a demo of Merge Agent Handler and this actually looks pretty useful if you’re building AI agents. Most agents can generate responses, but getting them to actually take actions across real tools is still messy. Integrations are one thing, but handling auth, permissions, and security usually makes it way more complicated than it should be. What I liked is that it feels built for real workflows — you can actually see what your agent is doing instead of just hoping it works. Feels like a practical layer between AI agents and real work getting done. Worth checking out:

MOST OF THESE APPS DON'T HAVE A BUSINESS MODEL. NO VALUE. Builders, let me share a simple thought. Just because AI can build an app in minutes doesn't mean the world needs that app. We're already seeing thousands of apps that look fancy but solve nothing. They get launched, get a few clicks, and then nobody uses them again. Before building anything, ask yourself: "Would I use this app every day? Does it solve a real problem? Does it save time, make life easier, educate, entertain, or help someone earn money?" If the answer is no, go back to the drawing board. People don't pay for apps. People pay for value. If your app helps them achieve something important, they'll use it. If it doesn't, they'll ignore it no matter how beautiful the design looks. There are still huge opportunities in healthcare, education, media, productivity, gaming, finance, local services, and many other areas. The next big app on Pi Network might not be the most complicated one. It might be a simple app that solves one problem extremely well. Stop building copycats. Stop building for hype. Build something useful. Build something people need. Build something that even you would use every day. That's how real adoption happens. That's how you attract users. And that's how builders create lasting value.

Sam Altman on what you need to do to survive in the age of artificial intelligence. "You are about to enter the greatest golden age of human possibility..." To thrive in that world, the skills that matter most are: - Deep familiarity with the tools - Staying abreast of changes - Developing a great intuition for AI tools, where things are going, and how to make use of it - Resilience and the ability to learn things fast and evolve yourself with technology I know most of this stuff is a pretty big no-brainer for anyone paying attention, but here's the takeaway: AI upskilling and keeping up with AI are possibly the most important skills in the world right now. And the most fascinating part is that new AI developments and tools come out so fast that everyone is constantly learning. I'd be willing to bet that if you're a complete beginner but spend 3 months of dedicated learning, you'd be fully caught up to power users. In other words: Spend 3 months learning → work 2-4x faster and future-proof yourself. There's so much opportunity for anyone who just starts now.

$Gmail creator Paul Buchheit on how to build something 100 people love In the clip below, Paul talks about how he built the first version of Gmail. The first version was built in one day, and from there, he iterated his way to 100 people who loved the product: “The whole thing was just iterating, step by step trying to build something that made people happy.” The team decided that they needed to have 100 happy users before launching gmail to the world. To achieve this, Paul embedded a quick questionnaire in the interface that asked users: “Are you happy? Yes or No” Paul would then seek out all of the “No” responders and ask them directly: “What will it take to make you a happy user?” He ignored feedback from the people who said things like “it basically needs to be a clone of Outlook” because it was unlikely he would be able to convert them. But other people just needed a minor feature or a bug fix. So Paul worked on those requests one-by-one until he hit 100 happy users. Email was 30 years old when Paul started building gmail, and it’s pretty much impossible to enter a space like that and build something that appeals to everyone. If you try, what you will end up building is a mediocre product that nobody really loves. What Paul recommends doing instead—and what he did with gmail—is: “Build a thing that has really deep appeal. Even if it’s to just a tiny fraction of people—if you can make that small fraction of people obsessively love what you’re building, it’s easier to just grow that group. There’s always people at the margin where if you make the thing slightly better, they’re going to join into that group. It’s easier to start with deep, narrow appeal and broaden it over time than it is to start with broad ‘meh’ and convert ‘meh’ to loving your thing en masse.”$

For years, cricket ad breaks have belonged to celebrities. This year, we flipped the script. We handed the spotlight to 35 bold individuals — not entertainers, but builders. People creating jobs, solving real problems, and shaping India’s future. And instead of asking them to talk about Razorpay, we asked them to talk about something far more powerful — their vision. Because if India has to grow, we need more young people to build. We need ambition to be celebrated. We need founders to be visible. That’s why we launched #BackingIndiasBoldest — not just a campaign, but the start of a movement. To the 35 who said yes — thank you for leading the way. This is just the first domino. Wait for the ad breaks. We’ll see you there. #BackingIndiasBoldest | Razorpay

Replit CEO Amjad Masad on why the most ambitious employees are no longer blocked by engineering: "How can I upgrade my workforce for them to become generalist business people that can wield AI for the benefit of our customers and our bottom line?" "The most ambitious people are creating billions of dollars of value of their company."
